Just a thought

I'm no great mechanic, so take this only as a suggestion.

My buddy was just working on another vehicle (chevy of some sort) that was also a zero interference engine. When he was trying to crank the fly wheel it wouldn't go, even with 125 Ft. Lbs (he was playing with his new torque wrench). Come to find out, there was a chunk of carbon about 1/8 of an inch thick that kept being compressed each time he would try to turn the flywheel and that inturn was binding the engine not allowing it to continue rotating.

Might be applicable, might not. It's worth a thought at least.
